"Through travel I first became aware of the outside world; it was through travel that I found my own introspective way into becoming a part of it"
Eudora Welty
Photographs often provide travelers with keepsakes and mementos. They also act as travel logs documenting experiences, perpetuating images, and recording evidence that some locales change over time. Please submit a photograph (or photographs) that you believe best reflects the significance of a destination you have visited. The work may harbor an artistic, emotional, or intellectual influence that the place or space conveyed to you. The photograph may be heightened by light and shadows or by objects and people. Possibly, it contradicts or reasserts the popular perception of the setting that became the focus of the work.
"Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
